You all must have alot of money, because up to 2005 I was skiing on 207cm

Kick ski off into hand

O.k. Austrians, o.k. o.k. You're good; you've psyched out the rest of us.
But what next? Being thrown a flask of gasoline in the finish corral and
lighting your skis on fire?

Discipline standings.

The Germans don't have a good alpine team? I know they excel at the boreal
